Tiraspol. File photoTIRASPOL, Oct 13 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldavian Republic announced on Thursday that Moldova had detained a consignment of food products from Russia destined for Transnistria. «Moldova detained another cargo for Transnistria. This time it is about Russian batch of buckwheat and wheat flour. Formal reason: the requirement to conduct some kind of laboratory analysis, which, by the way, is not carried out in Moldova itself,» the ministry said in a Telegram channel.
Residents of Pridnestrovie reported explosions near the border, media reports «The Moldovan authorities have taken up the food security of Pridnestrovie and are actually starting to provoke a shortage,» the report says. Skuliany». An inspector from the Moldovan Food Safety Agency (ANSA) demanded a laboratory analysis of the batch for the content of the herbicide glyphosate. At the same time, such an analysis is not carried out in Moldova itself. The closest laboratory with the appropriate equipment is only in Italy. «Never before have such requirements been put forward to Pridnestrovian importers. This is something new and completely incomprehensible. There are serious doubts whether this is required even from those Moldovan enterprises that place these products on the domestic market of Moldova, considering that Moldova itself does not have the necessary capacities to conduct an analysis,» the agency quotes the words of a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. «It seems that someone is helping the EU become the main exporter to the PMR, so that we have a certain process of replacing Russian goods with European ones» , — added the representative. Transnistria, 60% of whose inhabitants are Russians and Ukrainians, sought secession from Moldova even before the collapse of the USSR, fearing that Moldova would join Romania on the wave of nationalism. In 1992, after a failed attempt by the Moldovan authorities to solve the problem by force, Pridnestrovie became virtually a territory not controlled by Chisinau. gas
